About the Book About the Author Excerpts Catalogue Information About the Book
A Matter of Choice is a gritty and real-life account of one man's life in the not-so pretty world of Canadian Organized crime. Paul Almassy relives how life offered him the choice of near slavery in the meat plants, or a life of ease and excitement working for The Syndicate. A Matter Of Choice explores the reasons why people do what they do, and make the choices that are often forced onto them. Mr. Almassy's life included professions as an armed robber, safe cracker, "heavy" Union Enforcer, con man, and Master of his own Syndicate. You will visit the glamorous, as well as the not-so-glamorous, episodes of this type of life. A Matter Of Choice is a realistic look at a side-of-the-law that people do not want to talk about, yet it exists. Sometimes even in our own backyard!
